Angel Investing, Incentive Designs, And Modularity with Ajit Tripathi

As we wrap up Modular March, we had one of the early believers in modularity and early angel investor in prominent projects (EigenDA, Avail, and others) to discuss the state of the crypto markets.


We discussed the nuanced interplay between technology, ethics, and market dynamics that are at play in crypto now. We discussed the desire for real world applications and why tokens play an interesting part in the way builders create products in crypto. Ajit is a particularly funny personality in crypto, known for his realism and ability to make harsh truths into satirical tweets.


We enjoyed this episode as a step out of the technical weeds and into the philosophical and realistic end of the crypto incentive systems.


You will too!
